Hello, Please help! I'm on the hunt for trials boots but I have a problem, I have very short legs but large calves Shoe size is UK4 (Euro 37)& from the bottom of my heel to the back of my knee is only 15.5" and my calves are 14.5" I measure a whopping 5 foot tall and weigh just over 8 stone so I admit I'm a bit of an odd shape Are there ANY boots out there that might fit?! Any help would be very much apprciated. Dame Dabaphobic

What do I need to use on my oiled Gaerne boots to keep them happy? Boner

It looks like they might become compulsory/mandatory. Who makes them, which ones are recommended? I have one with one plate for the front (or back), for mountainbiking etc and some for MX and enduro but those are to big and hard for trial. But I think a backplate might be more usefull.

Hi all As the post states really, Which hanle bar grips do people prefer? I use a renthal trials grip which i like but its the only one i have tried. I tend to crash a fair bit and go through a fair few sets,is there a better grip out there which is maybe a little tougher? cheers Adam

Looking on new boots what's people's thoughts on the following. * 2018 GAERNE TRIALS BOOTS - CAMO * GAERNE BALANCE TRIALS BOOTS - OILED * GAERNE CLASSIC TRIALS BOOTS. Cheers all.

Im looking to upgrade boots in the near future and was wondering about Sidi's trial boots. Anyone have any experience with them? Pros/cons? Cheers.

OK...my red, white and blue "Captain America" Alpinestars from the 80's finally gave up, and my spares are too clapped out to wear. I crashed, ripped off a sole and broke a toe. I've always got used boots before...this is my very first pair of NEW trials boots. The Novogars look good for the money...as in, they're the cheapest. Got the "carbon" look...very cool. My feet are 8.5 EE or EEE, almost as wide as long with very high instep and arches. I got the 43 (about 9.5) and they're a tad snug in the width, but I walked around in them for awhile and they now feel super comfortable. I had to let the lowest strap WAY out so I could buckle it. The soles are WAY stiffer…

Just pulled my relatively new S3 pants out of the washer and the buckle was in pieces. Anybody know where to get replacement part? Closest I can find seems to be snowboard toe buckles.

As the title states... how do you guys clean inside your skid lids? Mine has become a bit smelly and I'm not sure how to clean it.

Hello all, I am looking for my first trials helmet, I ride a KTM Freeride E and don't want to use a full face helmet as I get way too hot riding the more technical stuff. My background is MX and Enduro so I find the Airoh Stelt/Aviator and Fox V3 fit me really well. Based on this, I ordered the Airoh Evergreen which feels awful compared to my Stelt and have sent it back. I have a narrow head but fit a size large 59-60cm so looking for suggestions for a trials lid that is well vented, light and suits my weird (narrow) head shape. Was thinking the Airoh TRR as it is well vented and light but open to other suggestions, one more question are any Trails lids certified …

Hi I am looking to get a good pair of trials boots that will last. I always struggle with boots as I am no "midget" and have quite large calves so getting boots that are comfy isn't easy. Does anyone have the same problem? If so brand of boots would you recommend?? Sorry to start another topic about boots!

I've had a pair of SIDIs around six months, seriously impressed with their comfort but after only about four months the sole of both boots started separating from the front and one section broke away completely. Sent them back to Feridax who said that it was crash damage (can't remember the exact wording but words to that effect) and didn't constitute a warranty claim but they agreed to resole them for a fee and send them back. Ive used them about four times since their return and the EXACT same thing has started to happen on both boots again. Has anyone had similar experiences. Trials boots should be more robust than this, surely?!

I must be getting too old. I've been looking round for some new riding gear and everything on offer (in the UK at least) makes you look like a tart. Isn't there a market for some gear that's a little bit more tasteful? Maybe it's just me.............

Looked outside around 4pm today....looked a bit wet still, but it wasn't raining and about 4C at 4pm, so I took the GasGas trials bike out for some playtime in the yard. Had a blast....a few dabs, but didn't dump the bike, and given that I did the monster log crossing (thanks Treeguy!) about a dozen times, zigzagged through the pine stand and did wheelies over the driveway, that was good! Even went for a bit of an exploring session...there's a hardwood bush SW of my place that has wide dirt tracks (pickup truck sized) criss-crossing all through it, and going within 200 metres of the 400 highway, with a few small hills, a bit of light mud, a stream crossing and just gene…

I know the subject of '' vent '' on helmet as been often ask, but with new model arriving every year, what is in your opinion the one today

Hi all, Thought this might be the most appropriate section to post this as it has to do with parts. Just wondering if anybody has any information on whether this place is still in business or not. I placed an order online with them and the following day there is no record of the order (logging into account)even though my CC shows a pending charge. Their "contact us" form does not work on their web site and their email just bounces back as unknown address. Any help would be most appreciated thanks. Brian
